No empathy for anyone who voted for this and gets burned. The hard truth is they want the subjugation to happen. Otherwise they would have voted for anyone else.

Lemmy is such an echo chamber that the terminally online here can’t fathom the idea of someone voting against their own interests. But go out and talk to some people, you’ll find them.

They’re useful tools, as is the Lincoln Project, for example. Once the existential threat in Trump is gone it’ll be back to business as usual and their MO will be “oppose meaningful change without enabling a monster to take advantage of us again” again in no time. Trump is such a unique and unhinged threat that they resent what they’ve created, and in an equally unique moment of self reflection, created the Never Trump movement. But longtime allies to leftists, or even liberals for that matter, they absolutely are not. There’s no ambiguity around it.

Lol please calm down

You literally cannot veto anything that passes with 67 of more Senate votes.

“Anything to beat the ‘duopoly’ of political parties, even if the party is tainted by neo-fascist dark money!”

Absolutely wild mental gymnastics lol

1: You are “poking the bear” because everything you post to this community is pursuant to getting Harris to lose the election, either through pro-PSL or Green articles (via the Spoiler Effect), or through explicitly anti-Harris articles. That’s the pattern behind your posts, it obviously doesn’t matter how reputable a source is to you so long as you can flood Lemmy with this content. “Take it up with them” is a copout for your behavior because you choose to post their articles here.

2: You clearly don’t know what astroturfing even means. What could pro-Harris posts even astroturf for?

3: Repeatedly posting articles about getting Harris to lose the election and arguing in bad faith in defense of why that’s actually good for advancing socialism in the US is toxic because it’s literally incorrect. And when pointed out, you say you don’t actually think a second Trump term would be all that bad for you. It’s patently obvious what you’re trying to do on here, you’re trying to get leftists on board with neo-fascism and accelerationism to enrich yourself.

I think actively trolling people by arguing in bad faith or through astroturfing like this is definitely poisoning the community. It shouldn’t be tolerated for tolerances’ sake. And I’m not saying to just ban people you don’t agree with. I’m saying people who obviously just post to poke the bear, so to speak, should face discipline for trying to turn Lemmy toxic.

For everyone else reading, this is the mask off moment of this poster’s true intentions with the incessant propaganda.

Posting to Lemmy is always optional, if you find an article you’re apathetic about you don’t actually have to post or crosspost it. Try again.

If you care so little about the performance of the 2 major parties of the US electoral system, why did you even bother to post the original article?

You know all of Lemmy can see right through you, right? Just say you want Trump to win and we can all move on.

Translation: “I’m too privileged to care about who wins this election.”

“Today we commemorate a year since the beginning of a genocide, so sad. Vote for me so the person who’s been illegally trying to sabotage peace deals can indirectly get elected and just glass Gaza already! Heard there’s great real estate opportunities coming up!”

My union operates under SEIU, their endorsement makes me proud to pay my dues

You can’t predict the weather. Saying for sure that the election is going to go in any particular direction in a public forum is highly irresponsible. Just because you don’t want to take an election seriously doesn’t mean no one should.

P.S.: The statement at the end is highly pompous, sounds like an AI wrote it, and fails to contribute to the conversation at hand.

Screaming hot take, apparently: If you know about Project 2025 and are fine that it might actually happen if Trump wins because it won’t affect you, then you just might be a horrible person.

“GOP staffer refuses to endorse traitor from own party, endorses his rival instead.”

What’s so hard to understand?

“BlueMAGA” is fascist astroturfing terminology.

You’re a fascist.

You’re not fooling anyone here.

You can’t possibly be serious…
